How to harvest a key chocolate ingredient in Disney Dreamlight Valley

To successfully complete many Star Pasth event duties, you need to find and gather all kinds of specific items in Disney Dreamlight Valley. One gathering duty you’ll encounter asks you to harvest a key chocolate ingredient.

This vague clue is all you’re given to work with, and there are loads of different ingredients you can find around the main valley and DLC worlds, making it a tricky one to solve. If this event quest has you stumped, here’s how to harvest a key chocolate ingredient in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

What is a key chocolate ingredient in Disney Dreamlight Valley?

A key chocolate ingredient in DDV is Cocoa Beans. You can find them growing on Cacao Trees, of which there are six around your valley. Initially, two of these trees start off in the Glade of Trust, while the other four can be found in the Sunlit Plateau.

Like all fruit trees and bushes, though, they can be freely moved around, so you likely relocated them. If you’re not sure where you put them, open the Collection page, select the Ingredients tab, and locate Cocoa Beans. Hover over them to have the biome or biomes your Cacoa Trees are in displayed near the bottom left corner.

Each Cacao Tree can be harvested to claim three Cocoa Beans. It then takes 30 minutes for more to grow. Cocoa Beans cannot be planted and grown from seeds and are instead a tree excsuvie crop that can only be obtained from these specific plants.

Before you start harvesting this crop, be sure to ask a foraging specialist villager to hang out with you, as well as two foraging Companions. Having all three at your side will grant you multiple chances of obtaining extra Cocoa Beans. Any extra that is found by your allies won’t count for the Star Path task, but since you’re harvesting either way, it’s still worth trying to use these bonuses so you can get extra to store, sell, cook with, or otherwise use.

To complete the harvest a key chocolate ingredient duty, you need to harvest a total of 15 Cocoa Beans. Since you have six Cacao Trees with three that can be grabbed from each tree, you can complete this quest in one go, as there’s more than enough to harvest available right away.

Finishing this task gets you 10 Tokens to spend in the event. It’s not much, so you’ll likely want to tackle some additional event tasks to earn enough Tokens to buy the better prizes. If so, some good ones to work on are cooking a fairly fancy dinner, digging for special crystals underground, harvesting some red bush berries, and selling snowman building material.
